High resolution STEM and EELS investigation of N‐doped carbon allotropes decorated with noble metal atom catalysts

Graphene's unique properties make this material an ideal catalyst support for use in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Graphene offers increased electrical conductivity and a larger surface area for catalyst deposition compared to other catalyst support material, such as carbon black.[1,2]. Utilizing graphene as the electrode support also results in increased chemical stability due to the sp 2 bonding; however, this precludes the …
